Controversy In Arab, Muslim World Following Death Of Al-Jazeera Reporter Shireen Abu 'Akleh: As A Christian, Can She Be Called A Martyr And Is It Permissible To Pray For Her Soul?

Immediately following the death of Al-Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu 'Akleh in a firefight between Palestinian gunmen and the Israeli armed forces in Jenin refugee camp on May 11, 2022,   a debate arose in the Arab and Muslim world as to whether Muslims may refer to Abu 'Akleh, who was a Christian, as a "martyr," and whether it is permissible for them to say 'may Allah have mercy upon her,' a phrase traditionally uttered in Arabic about the deceased, or to pray for Allah to grant her pardon.
